Why are exorcisms on the rise?

Over the past few months, I’ve noticed a curiously high number of articles on the topic of exorcisms. Almost all of them point to a similarly noticeable uptick in the number of people requesting the “services” of an exorcist.

In the age of the internet, more and more people are self-diagnosing demonic possession and reaching-out to priests for relief by an exorcism.

The Atlantic recently published a feature about the rising number of exorcisms in their article: American ExorcismPriests are fielding more requests than ever for help with demonic possession, and a centuries-old practice is finding new footing in the modern world.

Also contributing to the media’s interest in this topic is the newly-published book entitled “The Devil is Afraid of Me”. In it, a Rome exorcist tells the tale of how he came face-to-face with the devil himself. Throughout the book, he walks the reader through some of his most memorable (and terrible) encounters with demons.

So the question I have is: Is the rise in exorcisms a reflection of a rise in demonic possessions OR is it a reflection of a rise in the public’s awareness of the practice itself which therefore causes more people to seek out an exorcism?
